  I think there has never been an explanation attempt at why you can make
portals only on some surfaces but not others. Seems like the rule is "if
the surface is white and smooth, then it's portal-friendly, else it isn't".
No explanation why. (Smoothness could perhaps be handwaved, but not the
whiteness. There certainly are many surfaces in both games that are smooth
but non-white, and you can't put portals on them.)
